He's still 18 microns! It's not too early to be thinking about your Spring 2020 breedings! Ganymede is standing stud in Virginia from mid-May thru 1st week of December. His offspring thus far have been AMAZING! We also have quite a few females available that have been bred to GANYMEDE for 2020 crias!

Fall 2019 UPDATE: It's a light fawn female cria and she is gorgeous already!!! This little girl looks like a carbon copy of Sarafina's 2018 cria out of GANYMEDE; she is AMAZING - very reminiscent of her sire! See more info on Ayla (2019 cria) and Elara (2018 cria) in the links below. This combination of GANYMEDE and TWF Sarafina definitely works! So...we've exposed Sarafina to Ganymede for a 3rd time!

We are so happy with this little girl! Everything about her is beautiful...From day 1; we called her a "keeper!" As her fleece matures, the character is shining through and it reminds us more and more of her incredible sire's. Wow!...uniformity, fineness, density and character is AMAZING, and it carries across her blanket, down into the belly and legs! Elara's conformation is spot on, with a well-balanced frame made for production. With her dark toenails, eyelashes, and nose, she'll fit into a light or color breeding program. Add to that her sweet, laid-back personality, and we have perfection in every way!
Elara's sire is the 2017 AOA National Supreme Champion, Man in the Moon's Peruvian Ganymede, carries some important genetics, including the likes of 382 Peruvian Zephyrus, who was the 2005 Futurity Reserve Herdsire of the Year. Ganymede garnered 4 Judges Choice banners and Championed in every show he attended from 10 months old on (for a total of 11). The Judges repeatedly said: "He's the clear winner!" and "He's the SAME All Over!...from skin to tip, from front to back!" He is SPECTACULAR and we're pretty sure he's passed all of his outstanding qualities to Elara! We expect great things from this remarkable girl!
Elara's dam, TWF Peruvian Sarafina, has a consistent uniform crimp and fineness across her blanket. She has a soft handle, great density, and a very good staple length. She's just a beautiful girl...Her genetics are also impressive. Sarafina's sire, TWF Peruvian Embosser (Odyssey, Godfather, Vengador, Royal Fawn) passed on his elite fleece, handle, staple and coverage. Her dam, TWF Peruvian Saffron (Felix, Accoyo Express) also passed on her dense, bright fleece.
Elara participated in her first shows.and we were very pleased with the judges comments, recognizing the consistency and uniformity of her fleece across the blanket, and from skin to tip.
